Chess

Anyone else into it?

I play a lot on an app but I'm seeing a bloke I was in rehab with today for a big game.

I've only got into it recently. Find it good for cognitive therapy and just the simple extra bit of thinking that is required.

The patience, the planning.

I find it has a lot of analogies with football itself.

Which is why I was pleasantly surprised when jurgon klopp recently mentioned it as an analogy via his tactical approach and mentality..

Maybe there might be a way to start some Charlton life games of it?

Might be useful for office bods that have long train journeys into work.

Cheers

Play online all the time.
Against others not computers, blitz chess too, I don't enjoy the system where you wait ages for each move

haven't played for years but used to like a good game against players of the same level .. but wonder if I have the patience for it nowadays

Both my sons, late teens/early twenties, are obsessed with online chess. It's the new rock 'n roll.

Saw chess legend Gary Kasparov in The Valley Cafe once, asked him to pass the pepper, took him 45 minutes
